In the club's first Premier League match of the season, it was the 22-year-old who has spent the last three years on loan to Atletico Madrid who got the nod to start.

And after 3-1 win against Burnley, Mourinho revealed he hoped Cech would stay with the club and reject any deals offered for him before the end of the summer transfer window.

"Petr Cech was disappointed but football is sometimes like this, players can often be unhappy and be unhappy with managers.

"But between the group of players and their mates they have to be supportive.

"I hope he doesn't want to go and I hope he doesn't have offers to go and if he does have offers he refuses to go.

"I would be delighted to have two of the best goalkeepers in the world in my squad."

New signings Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas made an instant impact for Chelsea as they launched their Premier League title bid with a confident 3-1 win at Turf Moor.

Former Arsenal midfielder Fabregas, brought in from Barcelona during the close season, was influential throughout the game, having a hand in all three Chelsea goals and striking up an impressive midfield pairing with Eden Hazard.
